I love the comment suggesting that people should write to Kodak requesting them to continue the films.

Seems to me the way to do that is to send a *purchase order*... that's what they've been lacking and that's why they're not selling.

Apropos of nothing: Kodak once owned the largest herd of cows in the world.

Seems like it was only yesterday I'd shelved my QL loader and moved back to using my cut sheet holders. I sincerely hope the remaining transparencies stay alive. Another hook was the mention of the E-6 chemicals that at least Kodak will continue to make at this point in time. Are there any other sources for that stuff? Or is that the next lynch pin in our transparency usage...... :(
